STRESS..dan cara mengatasinya..

Salam

Agak sekian lama 'berehat', kali ini saya ingin berkongsi sedikit topik yang sangat biasa kita dengar dan hadapi seharian-dan kadang kala kita terlepas pandang-STRESS!

Menurut kajian pakar-pakar psikologi, 99% penyebab penyakit adalah STRESS!

STRESS didefinisi sebagai ketegangan (tension/strain) yang melibatkan fizikal, minda, emosi atau gabungan ketiga-tiganya. Dan memang kebiasaanya pun ianya saling berkait rapat..

STRESS berlaku bila kita rasa TIDAK boleh mengatasi apa-apa kejadian, tugasan, cabaran dsb yang berlaku dalam hidup. Bila nak exam stress, nak kahwin stress, boss panggil stress, anak nakal stress, traffic jam stress...dan macam-macam lagi..

Perhatikan-stress berlaku kebanyakannya disebabkan cara kita menyusun jadual atau rutin harian yang salah. Atau boleh juga dikatakan TIADA perancangan yang betul. Ini tentunya boleh dielakkan. Dengan kata yang lain, kita yang memilih untuk stress!

Pelajar yang stress bila nak exam adalah pelajar yang tidak membuat persediaan yang secukupnya. Bakal pengantin yang stress adalah mereka yang belum cukup bersedia dari segi kewangan, belum pandai memasak dsb, orang yang stress di jalan raya kerana traffic jam adalah orang yang tidak mengatur jadual perjalanannya dengan betul dan anda bolehlah fikirkan sendiri yang lain-lainnya

Cadangan mengatasi STRESS

1) Rancang, rancang, rancang!
-Membuat perancangan yang betul dan sistematik-seperti SWOT analysis, diari, checklist dsb
-Kata org failing to prepare is preparing to fail. So plan your work and work your plan!

2) Perfection!
-Membuat kerja dengan sehabis sempurna mungkin seperti yang dirancangkan

3) Ikhlas!
-Sebelum melakukan sesuatu pekerjaan, bacalah bismillah...kemudian bisikkan dalam hati atau di mulut 'lillahirabbil'alamin'..kemudian tarik nafas dan lepas...moga-moga pekerjaan kita diberkati-Nya

4) Syukur
-Akhiri setiap pekerjaan dengan..'syukur..alhamdulillah'..kemudian tarik nafas dan lepas...

5) Hijrah
-Hayatilah konsep sebenar HIJRAH dalam Islam, iaitu setiap saat adalah hijrah ke arah kebaikan. Saat ini mesti lebih baik dari saat sebelumnya...saat berikutnya mesti lebih baik dari saat sekarang...Hargailah setiap saat MASA yang begitu berharga. Jika tidak, apa perlunya Allah berfirman dalam Surah Al-Asr?..

Sekian untuk kali ini...

Apa Itu "God Spot"?

Otak manusia merupakan organ yang paling kompleks yang dicipta oleh Allah Taala.Di situlah letaknya AKAL yang membezakan manusia dari haiwan.

Otak mempunyai 100 bilion neuron (sel saraf) dan bertrilion 'synapse' iaitu hubungan antara neuron-neuron. Otak boleh menyimpan 100 ribu fakta pada satu-satu masa dan bertrilion fakta sehingga hayatnya.

Baru-baru ini ada satu cabang sains yang kian berkembang, dipanggil NEURO-THEOLOGY (theology=ketuhanan) yang mengkaji biologi bahagian-bahagian otak, mengenal pasti litar-litar saraf otak yang terlibat dalam hal kerohanian (spirituality) dan untuk menerangkan bagaimana aktiviti ritual keagamaan mempengaruhi pelaku-pelaku yang percaya atau tidak kepada hal-hal ketuhanan.

Pada tahun 1980-an, Dr Michael Persinger membuat ujikaji menarik dengan menstimulasi satu bahagian otak subjek iaitu lobus temporal dengan medan elektromagnetik yang lemah dan didapati subjek-subjek mengalami 'pengalaman kerohanian tertentu' semasa stimulasi.

Pada tahun 1997, Dr Vilayanur Ramachandran, seorang Saintis Kajisaraf daripada University of California, San Diego yang mengkaji aktiviti otak pesakit-pesakit yang mengalami sawan (epilepsy) pada bahagian temporal, mendapati bahawa pesakit-pesakit yang dikajinya sering kali memberi tahu beliau bahawa, setiap kali terkena serangan sawan, terdapat pengalaman-pengalaman spiritual dan mistik. Mereka juga didapati lebih cenderung mendalami agama.

Dr V. Ramachandran seterusnya membandingkan aktiviti otak pesakit-pesakit beliau dengan orang-orang yang normal dan mereka yang terlibat secara serius dalam bidang keagamaan. Hasilnya sangat menarik kerana didapati pesakit-pesakit sawan beliau didapati mempunyai aktiviti otak yang sama dengan mereka yang serius dalam bidang keagamaan, iaitu peningkatan aktiviti kawasan neuron otak pada kawasan temporal, berdekatan bahagian depan (frontal) otak.

Lihat: http://cas.bellarmine.edu/tietjen/images/new_page_2.htm

Ini menunjukkan kaitan antara God Spot (yang terletak di bahagian temporal otak) dengan hal-hal spiritual.

Bagaimanapun, kajian terbaru National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda, Maryland mendapati tiga bahagian otak terlibat iaitu lobus frontal, temporal dan parietal.Baca di: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1160904/Research-brains-God-spot-reveals-areas-brain-involved-religious-belief.html#ixzz0bdF61Jvd

Dr. Ary Ginanjar Agustian dari Indonesia, pengasas ESQ Way 165, menghuraikan kepentingan God Spot dengan begitu ilmiah dan mengkagumkan.

Menurut Ary, betapa manusia itu ramai yang sedang 'mencari Tuhan' tetapi ramai yang gagal.Ramai yang mengejar dunia dan meninggalkan akhirat, begitu juga sebaliknya. Yang diperlukan adalah manusia (Muslim) yang menggabungkan kepentingan dunia dan akhirat.

Sebab itulah Ary menggariskan ESQ Way 165, dengan Spiritual Quotient (SQ) menjadi nukleus, diliputi dengan Emotional Quotient (EQ) dan pada bahagian luarnya Intelligence Quotient (IQ)

Dalam Islam, 3 asas agama yang penting ialah Islam, Iman dan Ihsan (Rujuk 'hadis Jibril')

Menurut formula Ary:

IQ= Rukun Islam (5)

EQ=Rukun Iman (6)

SQ=Ihsan (1)

Dalam bukunya yang kedua- 'ESQ Power', diterangkan teras SQ adalah Asmaul Husna yang 99 itu.

Jadi, teras seorang manusia (Muslim,terutamanya) yang berjaya adalah dengan menghayati/mengaplikasi Asmaul Husna 99, dan yakin serta melaksanakan 6 Rukun Iman dan 5 Rukun Islam.

Insya-Allah akan berjaya dunia akhirat.

Wassalam..

Low-Dose Aspirin Not Answer for Heart Health

(NaturalNews)

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 by: Dr. Phil Domenico, citizen journalist

If you listen to the reigning experts from the pharmaceutical world, aspirin appears to be the cure-all for everything. Now, a new Yale University study suggests that low-dose aspirin may prevent liver damage caused by side effects of drugs, alcohol, and obesity. Specifically, aspirin reduced mortality caused by Tylenol overdose in mice. Given together with Tylenol, it offered significant protection, increasing survival from 22 to 43%. Other drugs that block inflammation were also shown to protect the liver (Imaeda et al., 2009). As usual, no mention was made of anti-inflammatory vitamins and minerals in this study.

A number of pharmaceutical industry-sponsored studies support the use of aspirin for prevention. Low-dose aspirin is positioned as a widely available, inexpensive, and relatively safe drug regimen. Its anti-clotting effect is used widely to prevent heart attacks, strokes and blood clot formation. Given immediately after a heart attack, aspirin is said to reduce heart damage and the risk of another heart attack. Now, low dose aspirin may be promoted to inhibit liver inflammation from drug use. Consider, however, that higher doses may increase liver toxicity.Thus, from one single mouse study, the authors conclude that aspirin should be taken daily to help prevent or treat liver damage from a host of non-infectious causes. They even suggest that drugs previously discarded due to liver toxicity might be resurrected if combined with aspirin. Soon enough, a new OTC drug combining Tylenol and low-dose aspirin is likely to show up in drugstores.

However, aspirin is not the cure-all that the industry makes it out to be. Aspirin is not recommended for those with intolerance or resistance to nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs, or by those with bleeding problems, asthma, kidney disease, peptic ulcers, diabetes, gout or gastritis. There is an increased risk of stomach bleeding when aspirin is taken with alcohol or warfarin. Up to 28% of patients who take low-dose aspirin to ward off heart attacks develop peptic ulcers, though often without symptoms (Yeomans et al., 2005). Factors that increase ulcer risk include old age or infection with H. pylori. Aspirin should also not be given to young people for colds or flu, as this has been linked with Reye`s syndrome.

As with any drug, the benefits of aspirin should be carefully assessed before taking it for long periods.Generally speaking, no drug is a solution for chronic degenerative disease. Aspirin is no exception, as it is in fact a metabolic poison. Indeed, aspirin`s side effects may far outweigh any benefits. Aspirin can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer (Schernhammer 2004), damage kidneys, and promote gastric bleeding. The WASH (Warfarin/Aspirin Study in Heart failure) study provided no evidence that aspirin is effective or safe in patients with heart failure. Indeed, there were trends toward a worse outcome among those taking aspirin, including heart failure (Cleland et al., 2004).

It is likely that aspirin is not as safe as suggested. It may also not be as cheap as advertised, when calculating the costs of treatment for adverse effects. Perhaps the greatest detriment of aspirin is that it diverts attention away from treatments that are truly beneficial.Nevertheless, it is not wise to go cold turkey with any medication. People who stop taking aspirin once they`ve been doing it for a while risk serious heart problems. More than 10% of people taking daily aspirin for heart reasons were hospitalized within one week of stopping the therapy. It`s a Catch-22 situation, since aspirin can increase the risk of heart damage, but stopping long-term therapy can do the same.

Solutions? Start by asking your doctor to safely wean you off blood-thinners without shocking your system into a heart attack. In the future, take these drugs only when needed. There are many natural alternatives to aspirin that are heart healthy without the damaging side effects.So, what are the best alternatives to aspirin? Simple lifestyle changes such as reducing refined carbohydrate and trans fat intake, eating more alkaline foods (low-carb veggies and fruits) and exercising can have a tremendously positive effect on your cardiovascular system. There are also natural supplements with blood-thinning properties, such as Fish Oil, Vitamin E, Nattokinase, and Bromelain. Among the spices, Basil is known for preventing blood clotting. Scientists caution not to take these potential blood thinners with aspirin, as the combination may thin the blood excessively. However, fish oil may safely enhance the anti-platelet effect of baby aspirin (Larson 2008).

A basic supplement regimen for cardiovascular health includes a high quality multivitamin, natural mixed vitamin E and pharmaceutical grade fish oil. There are also many minerals and antioxidants from food and supplements that boost circulatory health. Remember to buy top shelf supplements, not the cheap drugstore junk produced by the pharmaceutical industry. The extra cost is well worth the investment. Remember also to stop taking all blood thinners at least a week before surgery to avoid internal bleeding.Furthermore, be careful with excessive calcium supplementation. Too much calcium, without other nutrients to prevent its crystallization in the body, leads to hardening of the arteries and abnormal blood clotting. Reducing calcium intake to 800 mg daily combined with magnesium, vitamin K2, vitamin D3, boron and fish oil is by far a better bone building strategy that can also improve heart health.

Unfortunately, most magnesium supplements come in the oxide form, which is not absorbed by the body. Take 100-200 mg magnesium daily as citrate or taurate (or another absorbable form) to soften calcium. Vitamin K2 (but not vitamin K1) has been shown to decalcify blood vessels (Beulens et al., 2008). Vitamin D3 should be on everyone`s list to improve calcium metabolism and reduce inflammation.

There are also special foods and supplements that prevent excessive blood clotting. Nattokinase is an enzyme made from fermented soybeans that can prevent or dissolve clots. It is comparable to aspirin in enhancing blood flow, without the side effects. Nattokinase provides longer lasting benefits than aspirin without the potential for abnormal bleeding. By increasing circulation, Nattokinase enhances tissue oxygenation and increases nutrient and supplement utilization. This, in turn, increases energy, supports vision, promotes bone and joint health, alleviates minor joint and muscle pains, and supports memory (Peng et al., 2005). Nattokinase in combination with appropriate lifestyle and dietary modifications can provide excellent protection from heart attacks.Flavonol-rich cocoa drinks and dark chocolate also compare favorably with low-dose aspirin for healthy blood clotting (Mehrinfar 2008). Cocoa may be the preferred way to thin blood, since it tastes so good, and bolsters antioxidant defenses.

In contrast, aspirin may reduce antioxidant activity by blocking Vitamin C entry into cells. Tomato extracts have also been shown to help thin blood, and may contribute to cardiovascular health. By reducing platelet activation, tomato contributes to a reduction in clotting events that lead to heart attack and stroke, as shown in clinical trials (O`Kennedy 2006). Garlic`s blood-thinning effect is part of an ancient tradition. It stems from garlic`s ability to lower blood triglyceride levels. Indeed, a wide variety of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds derived from fruits and vegetables work in synergy to promote cardiovascular health. Many of these phytochemicals are available as supplements, either separately or in synergistic blends.If you insist on taking aspirin, consider that zinc and selenium may prevent aspirin`s impairment of antioxidant, liver and kidney function (Kesik et al., 2008). These antioxidant minerals can be found in ideal form and sufficient quantity in high quality multivitamins.

In conclusion, virtually all pharmaceutical approaches to health should be considered with caution. Drugs are not the best answer to improve health, and should not be anyone`s first choice. Furthermore, drug combinations are likely to cause more problems than they fix. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry seems more concerned with profit than with health and welfare. Even well meaning doctors typically have no training in nutrition, and are not the best source of information in many areas of health. With so many beneficial nutrients available to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation, wholesome food and supplements are the cornerstone to health. Those who would recommend drugs for these purposes, especially to counteract the toxic effects of other drugs, have another agenda altogether.

Spiritual Healing in the Sufi Tradition

Shaykh Hisham Muhammad Kabbani, MD

Renewed interest in spiritual healing methods will only help to further the state of modern medicine as we benefit from the experiences and knowledge of our predecessors in this noble field of healing. Unfortunately, this topic has too often been ignored and dismissed by many contemporary physicians although these remedies have been practiced successfully for thousands of years.

The Science Of Spiritual Healing

The Sufi Spiritual Healing process rejuvenates the body’s life force and strengthens it through several focal points throughout the body.
The spiritual technique produces a neuro-psychological effect which leads
the central nervous system (CNS) to produce a carefully orchestrated endocrine response which relieves pain, heals the disease of the affected areas, and balances the entire body.

Step 1-understand

Health as Related to Physical Fitness and Activity

The human body requires food and drink, however not all such matters are digestible and they do not all become part of the human body.
Instead, precipitates of unconverted nutrients may settle as sediment and since the body cannot dispose of them naturally, with time, their accumulations can cause various illnesses.

Initially, such accumulations may manifest as localized accumulations before they affect the blood and are transported through the blood stream to accessible parts of the body.
Though initially one’s condition may manifest in the form of bowel problems,
with time, any greater buildup of such sediment becomes more dangerous and manifests as localized illnesses that may spread in the body at later stage.

Hence comes the importance of studying the pathology of disease and the history of its development.

Acknowledging physical malaise causing bowel problems, one may accustoms ones self to strong purgative resulting in further complications.

In fact, most of such drugs are toxic and can interfere with and eliminate both the good and bad. Addictions to such drugs can further complicate one's condition because they are hot and interactive and they can weaken the immune system,
predispose patients to arrhythmias, affect the kidney and develop various disorders and deficiencies.

Appropriate physical exercise is necessary to refresh the organs, ease the flow of food and nutrients, enhance digestion, and prevent such accumulations.
Furthermore, natural and methodical control of movements and muscular actions
lightens the spirit, refreshes the mind, rejuvenates the body organs, improves one’s self, strengthens muscular tone,
prevents callousness of the joints,
strengthens the tendons and ligaments,
lessens the possibility of somatic disorders, and abates most illnesses.

This also depends on the level of physical exercise, their balance, moderation, or intensity.
In general, routines dedicated to any particular limb strengthen it just like dedicating one’s thoughts to a specific subject strengthens one’s memory. Hence, each part of the body requires specific routines.

The lungs require reading exercise and their levels began from reading silently, and advancing gradually in intensity and loudness.

Hearing exercise require careful responsive attention by stimulating the auditory nerves and ears, and it develops to the point where sound either increases in volume or decreases by distance or by intensity of one’s wavelength.

Speaking exercise increases oral command; and besides helping recognition by physical and mental vision, eye exercises enhance one’s vision, strengthens the ocular muscles and in some cases can help correct nearsightedness and farsightedness.

Thus, hiking, swimming, normal walking exercise at moderate pace, riding on horseback, archery, and similar sports, are most healthy for the entire body. Adopting such programs of physical exercise even can
cure chronic illnesses such as anemia,
infectious diseases,
ulcers, and colic, among others.

Origins of Sufi Spiritual Healing

Spiritual healers inherited the methods that God’s messengers were using, and from one generation to another have practiced these methods up to the present time. In the Islamic tradition, healers utilize both medicinal remedies and spiritual means. The spiritual techniques follow scientific principles which utilize the patient’s latent energy and the power contained in the devotions and supplications and meditations of the prophets, messengers, and "wise men" of God.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was once in a session where he was curing people through spiritual methods when he was asked whether or not remedies should be sought from medicines. He said, "Yes, you must seek remedy from medicine, because whatever disease God has created in this world, He has also created its remedy as well. But there is one disease for which He has not created any remedy, which is old age."
Each and every prescribed Quranic verse has its unique healing property which differs from those of other verses. The following are some examples of verses used in Sufi Spiritual Healing.

Six Verses Of Healing: "Ayat Al-Shifa"

"And [God] shall heal the breast of the believers."
{wayansurkum AAalayhim wayashfi sudoora qawmin mumineena} Tauba 9:14

"Mankind there has come to you a guidance from your Lord and a healing for (the diseases) in your hearts, and for those who believe a guidance and a mercy."{Ya ayyuha alnnasu qad jaatkum mawAAithatun min rabbikum washifaon lima fee alssudoori wahudan warahmatun lilmumineena }
Yunus 10:57

"There issues from within the bodies of the bee a drink of varying colors wherein is healing for mankind."{yakhruju min butooniha sharabun mukhtalifun alwanuhu feehi shifaon lilnnasi}
Nahl 16:69

"And We sent down in the Quran such things that have healing and mercy for the believers."{Wanunazzilu mina alqurani ma huwa shifaon warahmatun lilmumineena }
Bani Israel 17:82

"And when I am ill, it is [God] who cures me."{Waitha maridtu fahuwa yashfeeni }
A supplication of Prophet Abraham Shuara 26:80

"And declare (O Muhammad) that [the Quran] is a guidance and healing for the believers."41:44{qul huwa lillatheena amanoo hudan washifaon waallatheena la yuminoona}

About Energy And How Sufi Spiritual Healing Works

Sufi Spiritual Healing is not at all a mysterious process but is in fact very straight forward, albeit oftentimes quite complex. The Sufi Spiritual Healing technique involves the energy field that exists around each of us. Everyone has an energy field or an aura that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body. This field is intimately associated with the health of the human being.

In different cultures, energy is known by different names. The word "energy" is referred to as:

~Ki in Japanese

~Chi in Chinese

~Prana in Hindi

~Qudra in Arabic

Energy is the life breath transmitted to us from the Existing, Everlasting Superpower that overlooks human beings and all creation.
Energy regulates our thought patterns and emotions, is the source of our life force and is the animating factor in all living beings. It circulates through our bodies and can be harnessed for healing.
It is the source of all movement in the universe. When the human body loses its life breath the original energy (or life force) leaves it, allowing the body to decompose.
The body goes back to its earthen origins and the spirit returns to its angelic origin of spiritual energy.
This energy is never lost and exists without the secret of its nature being understood by science and modern medicine.
This unknown spiritual energy is behind the life of every drop of blood in animate beings, the motion behind every living cell, and the driving force of constellations and galaxies.

It carries unlimited perfect and complete powers which are real, active and continuous. The action of this force is genuine because nothing can grow or live in the entire universe without its influence.
This is especially applicable on earth where no trees, grass, vegetation and indeed no life can exist without the intervention of this unknown, unseen energy. {photons transmitted by sun but not visible to naked eyes.}
It is with this energy that a tiny plant pushes through the middle of a huge desert boulder. This energetic spiritual life force holds the organs, blood vessels, and all body parts in place. When the body’s life force diminishes, the anatomic relations of the body’s organs are altered and disrupted, which leads to pain, organ dysfunction and an overall deterioration of health.
The spiritual energetic life force creates an energy field around itself like a highly charged magnet or electrode.
This force reflects its energy throughout the human body and becomes the driving life force behind all of its activities and processes. The life force not only energizes the body but also gives it its identity. As an atom is defined by its constituent electrons, protons, and neutrons--which are also its energy components--so too does the spiritual life force give energy and identity to the physical body.

Step 2 Understanding Water
-Our Life Force.
The healing spiritual energy is analogous to a waterfall. If a waterfall is channeled in the right way, it can be harnessed to produce energy and give light.

Diet and cleansing of body liquids

Similarly, if our blood flow is properly channeled through a balanced, equilibrated system, the driving force of that energy will augment the energy of the weak organs.
In those organs where the life force has been weakened and dissipated, Sufi Spiritual Healing will increase and activate these vital forces.
The spiritual healing technique allows the life energies to be exponentially expanded to activate the ill member and heal it.
A similar phenomenon is seen in an atomic reaction, where tremendous power is released from the internal energy of the atom. The energy produced increases geometrically as the activated, energized atom spreads its energy to its neighbors, propagating a chain reaction of energy release.
The same principle of the atomic reaction is used by spiritual healers to harness and activate the life force within the patient. Much in the same way that contemporary physicians direct lasers to heal affected areas of the body,
spiritual healers access a similar chain reaction of the body’s existing energy, channeling it to the affected areas to heal pain and suffering.
When one organ begins to heal, the other organs use the released energy to activate and release their own inherent energy, which in turn promotes physiological equilibrium and relief from pain.

Step 3
Energy Distribution
-Focus on The Heart
-The Three Phases Of Spiritual Healing

1- Universal force--or cosmic energy--includes the energies of the planets, stars and galaxies, and whatever is around us of propagating energy fields.
This vast, all-pervading force nourishes the soul, the spirit and the energy within each individual and in every living creature.
Through the meditative process of spiritual healing, one can access this driving energy which exists in every living cell in the body.

The energy is channeled to the cerebral cortex, which is the processing center of our thoughts.
From there it will be intensely focused and
channeled in the nuclei of the brain stem, which are activated and stimulated by this focused life force.
In turn impulses are sent to the autonomic nervous system, regulating the body’s functions, keeping it in equilibrium and free of pain.
The concentration of energy in the brain comprises the first phase of spiritual healing.

This process in turn stimulates the vagus nerve
to send electrical impulses down the heart’s conduction system to the sinoatrial node,
through the internodal tracts, through the atrioventricular node, down the Bundles of His,
out the Purkinje fibers and into the myocardial wall to begin systole.



2- This migration of energy which fills the heart is the second phase of spiritual healing.

Conditions such as angina, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy and hypertension, in addition to many other related cardiac diseases,
are healed and the patient can then find health and relief from pain.

The energy is then pumped with the blood out of the heart into the vascular system and delivered to the entire body in the third phase of spiritual healing.

3- Energizing The Blood

A major focus of phase three is the aorta, which is the conduit for the healing waves of energy that are carried by the blood.
As the blood flows from the heart,
it is first channeled back to the heart via the coronary arteries in a chain reaction that sustains and increases the energy in the heart itself, much in the same way that the sun increases its light through its own nuclear reactions. { Healing Heart Process}
This cycle produces more and more energy, which pours out into the vascular system with foci in the major arteries, supplying the brain via the carotid arteries.
It also travels through the subclavian arteries to the upper extremities,
the splanchnic circulation to the abdomen, through the renal arteries to the kidneys, and through the iliac vessels to the lower extremities.

Lungs Are The Tree of Life Within Us.

-Takes The Waste from the Blood And Gives Us Oxygen to Feed The Heart.

Oxygen-poor blood (shown in blue) flows from the body into the right atrium. Blood flows through the right atrium into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, { This Where Remembrance on the Blood} where the blood releases waste gases and picks up oxygen. The newly oxygen-rich blood (shown in red) returns to the heart and enters the left atrium. Blood flows through the left atrium into the left ventricle.The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body.


The huge volume of drops of blood are like a waterfall made by a huge river descending over the side of a tall mountain cliff. All vegetation and animals in the water’s path are nourished and given life, and every cell in the body is healed when the vital spiritual energy wave reaches it.
A healthy heart will sustain a weak body, but when the heart is weak and diseased--even in a young person--the body will not be healthy or live long. Therefore, maintaining the heart is the first priority for spiritual healers. Furthermore, maintaining the brain is also another important priority to keep the flow of messages functioning properly.

Contemporary Physicians and Spiritual Healers

Out Side In- Physicians and scientists are all acquainted with this unquantifiable life force, but are unable to interact with it directly except through its vehicle, the physical body. For that reason, scientists look intently to the outward existing body and invent procedures and techniques to keep the body in homeostasis, striving to keep the vital life force in the body as much as possible and to keep the body free of pain.
The contemporary physician is concerned primarily with the physical body as well as the psychological aspects of human existence. Therapeutics for illness are largely physical, whether in the forms of medication, surgical intervention, or otherwise.

Inside Out- Spiritual healers, on the other hand, use an inward approach to healing by applying spiritual techniques and methods to utilize the body’s own energy. The difference between the spiritual healers and the physician healers is that the former is healing from inside-to-outside while the latter is healing from outside-to-in. Each are doing good for their patients and both meet on the common ground of curing disease and relieving pain and suffering.

High Sense Perception As A Diagnostic Tool

Physicians utilize Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques which use the energy and alignment of the body’s atoms to provide images and information about the condition of the body and any potential disease process.

The spiritual healer also has advanced diagnostic modalities one of the most important of which is HSP, High Sense Perception.
HSP is a way of perceiving things beyond the normal range of the five senses.
With it one can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch things that cannot normally be perceived.
HSP, sometimes referred to as clairvoyance, is not imagination but is a type of seeing in which you perceive a picture in your mind without the use of your normal vision. HSP reveals the dynamic world of the fluid, interacting spiritual energy fields which surround and permeate all living things. This energy supports us, nourishes us, and gives us life. We sense each other with this energy as we are a part of it and it is a part of us.
With HSP, the pathophysiology of pain and disease processes lies right before one’s eyes.

HSP reveals how most diseases are initiated in the energy field.
Distortions in the energy field caused by time and unhealthy living habits are transmitted to the body, becoming a serious illness.
Many times the source or initiating cause of this process is associated with psychological and/or physical trauma.
Since HSP reveals how a disease is initiated, it also reveals how to reverse the disease process. Spiritual energies and auras aid healers in formulating their diagnosis.

To develop HSP it is necessary to enter into an expanded state of consciousness. There are many means to achieve this but spiritual meditation is fast becoming the most well known.

The Nasma {Aura} and Meditation

In the spiritual terminology, the non-physical body is called nasma. Nasma exists within each physical body as a subtle vapor or energy breeze created by the chemical output of the physical body. The nasma is present in human beings just as rose water is present in the rose or as the fire in glowing coals.
Being superior with its connection to the divine energy source, it can taste without using the tongue, can see without using the eyes, and can hear without using the ears.
By using the nasma, HSP is made available to the spiritual healer. The nasma derives its nourishment from the esoteric energy which is released whenever we act, think, or form a belief or intention.

The nasma in human beings is capable of leaving the physical body at any time through the universal driving force.
When the flow of spiritual energy is disturbed or insufficient, the health of the patient is adversely affected,
leading to pain, disease, distress, and so forth.
These are signals that we need to rebalance our energy.

A positive energy flow nourishes the nasma and maintains its structure and foundation, balancing the human system. This balance leads to increased awareness of the body’s sensations which in turn leads to good living, following of proper diet, and enjoyment of exercise. The nasma then supports and maintains a healthy physical body, in which the chemical and physical systems remain balanced and functioning normally, thus perpetuating physical health.
In the healthy system, the energies in each body not only remain balanced but also support and influence the energy balance in other peoples’ bodies.

The nasma can influence others like a magnet bringing the charges of adjacent metal into its alignment.
The energy of a healthy system is thus both self-healing and self-propagating in that it maintains the individual health while strengthening the health of those in one’s aura. That is, good health attracts and develops more good health.
The nasma can not only influence the physical body, but it can also be affected by a sick body and become weak because of the weakness of the organs.
For example, in a weak body a weak nasma shows its symptoms in the mental and physical aspects of a person.
In the mental sphere, any one of the following will occur:
neurosis, depression, hysteria, psychosis, seizures, sleep terror, and insomnia.
If this state of affairs is allowed to continue without treatment, the nasma becomes so weak that it is rendered incapable of defending itself in the weak body.
The patient at this stage suffers either from
seizures, psychotic fits, or aggressive behavior.

The spiritual healer can strengthen the patient’s organs and thereby the nasma through the universal driving force, creating a high-energy state in which symptoms of sickness disappear.

Meditation And The Focal Point Of Treatment

In spirituality, good health requires intensive striving by the patient and personal change.
Personal change to develop patience, contentment, gratitude, cheerfulness, joy, love, sharing, courage, benefaction, recognition of good deeds, forbearance, and courtesy will improve spirituality and energy flow.
Over activity even in this field and lack of proper supervision and devotion of a concerned and learned parent, or the dedication of qualified teacher also may lay a heavy burden on the person’s intellect. Alternatively, an impasse in spiritual progress may hinder one’s spiritual growth, and only a qualified guidance can break through such obstacles. Such training must keep advancing until it develops genuine character, positive traits, and healthy energy flow.

Without personal change in the body’s energy flow, one will eventually create other problems which leads back to the source that caused the disease in the first place. Thus, dealing with the source of disease is the focal point of treatment.
This search stimulates the deeper part of ourselves that is sometimes called the "higher self" or the "spark of divinity" within us.
This divinity within us, the deeper part of ourselves, sends us information about what type of sickness needs to be treated and what type of contact points need to be touched through our meditation.

Meditation is a tool which gives deep relaxation and to quiet the mind.
This helps to alleviate stress, and therefore enable the internal chemical and hormonal system to regain their equilibrium.
Medical tests have shown that there are definite measurable physiological changes in meditating subjects. The brain itself undergoes changes in the type of electrical waves generated.

By using an electroencephalogram (EEG) there is an increase in the generation of alpha waves and sometimes also in the number of theta waves. These indicate a shift of consciousness into a tranquil state of awareness quite different from that of sleep. This state is therapeutic and very restful although the patient is both fully conscious and functional.
The body demonstrates the effects of meditation in various ways.

The breathing pattern slows, as does the heart rate, and there is a marked decrease in the level of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide elimination.
However, the physical effects of meditation last longer than the meditation period itself.
This is demonstrated by the fact that sufferers of hypertension and many other diseases have, through meditation alone, made such clinically-measurable improvements that they have been able to discontinue their medications.
This is very well noted and recorded in spiritual healing books and manuscripts.

How Energy Relates To Disease

Spiritual healers symbolize the flowing of the driving life force in the body and in the universe as vortices of energy made up of a number of smaller spiral cones of energy.


These are known in Islamic terminology as "lata‘if", meaning subtle manifestations or layers.
The lata‘if (sing. lateefa) are the points of maximum energy intake and are very important focal points of balance within the energy system.
Disease and illness occur if a lateefa is unbalanced.
Lata‘if in adults have a protective screen over them.
In a healthy system, these lata‘if spin in synchronized rhythm with the others, drawing energy from the universal energy field into their center for use by the body.
Each one of them is tuned to a specific frequency that helps the body to remain healthy.
However, in a diseased system these vortices are not synchronized.
The energy of the lata‘if that make up these vortices may be fast or slow, jerky or lopsided.
Sometimes breaks in the entire energy pattern can be observed in which a lateefa may be fully or partially collapsed or inverted.
These disturbances are related to dysfunction or pathology of the physical body in that area.

Towards the Understanding of the 9 POINTS
Healing Through Meditation And Focal Points Of The Lata’if

The feeling of pain can be completely cured by meditation wherein the dormant energy of a sick body is activated by a spiritual ignition produced by the meditative process. This spiritual process uses seven different focal points in the seven layers, the lata’if.
There are seven focal points {plus 2 more} of the lata’if.
This is different from 5 Levels of the Heart
-These are located above and below the heart,
-above and below the left breast,
-above and below the right breast, and
-one on the forehead.
Every Lataif has a different energy color,
and every energy has a different effect on a specific disease.
The two focal points above and below the heart are green.
The points above and below the left breast are yellow,
the ones above and below the right breast are black,
and the one on the forehead is white.
{ By Permission the Shaykh will give out The Ismu Allah or Dhikr for each Point and the number of repetitions} This will activate the Points.

Through meditation these seven focal points of the lata’if generate energy.
Then, like a magnet, these activated focal points attract more energy from the universal cosmic energy source in the shape of tiny floating spheres of light.
The size of these spheres depends on which lateefa is activated, as there is a different sized sphere for every different color lateefa.
Depending on the illness, the healer activates the appropriate lateefa needed to cure that sickness.
In turn, the lateefa produces more of its energy color which itself attracts from the universal energy source more of the same light.
The result of this positive feedback loop is a tremendous outpouring of shimmering globes of light which descend from the cosmic energy source onto the person of the healer.
Through this flood of colored energy spheres, the healer is energized to the point where he/She radiates heat from his body through his hands and projects light from his forehead.
As a scientist shoots a laser, the spiritual healer emits the light and energy that he receives from the universal force.
The healer massages the affected areas and this combination of heat from the hand and light from the forehead immediately begins the healing process.
The healer also prescribes that the patient sit alone for a few hours each day fully relaxed, repeating several thousand times different holy names of God in a special format for the duration of treatment.
These holy names are like energy sparks which ignite more flow from the universal energy source.
This ignition also activates the focal points of the lata’if causing heat to be generated in the body of the patient. This heat is considerably less than the immense power transmitted by the healer, but it is sufficient to cause the patient to break out into a sweat.
At this time, the patient goes to the healer who transmits more energy as before, advancing the patient’s treatment.
As the moon reflects the light of the sun onto the earth, so too does the healer reflect the universal energy through his body to the patient.
This produces a state of immense heat and spiritual interaction between the healer and the patient.
This process is repeated for several days or even weeks until the patient recovers.
As he recovers, the patient begins to experience a psychological effect from the dynamic, synergistic interaction between himself and the healer.
This psychological effect of recovery and relief from pain induces the endocrine glands to secrete hormones which balance the whole system and begin to cure the ill organs, raising the patient to higher levels of health and spirituality than would be possible in the former painful, diseased condition.
As the surgical patient is anesthetized, so too is the spiritual patient put in a pain-free state in which the spiritual healer can work on him in the way he finds suitable.

Conclusion

Disease at any station of the energy field will express itself in that particular level of consciousness. Each expression of disease is manifested as some form of pain, be it physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. It is essential that we probe the deeper meaning of our illnesses.
We need to ask, "What does this illness and pain mean to us? What can we learn from this?"
Pain is the driving belt in the body’s own self-defense mechanism that alerts us to correct a situation.
Pain is like a warning bell in our system which brings our attention to the fact that something is wrong and forces us do something about it.
Pain says, "You are not listening to your whole self."
Pain teaches us to ask for help and healing and is, therefore, a key to the education of the soul and to the function of the spirit and the body’s energy.
A comprehensive approach to pain relief and health in general which includes spiritual healing will greatly help the progress of modern medicine. While volumes can and have been written on Islamic spiritual healing, it is hoped that this brief introduction will help bring this subject to the attention of the medical community and foster greater appreciation and understanding of this rich tradition and science.

Ulasan Buku-"Rahsia Khazanah Ilmu Pyracosmic"

Kali ini saya ingin membicarakan sebuah buku tulisan Dr. Lothfi berjudul 'Rahsia Khazanah Ilmu Pyracosmic' yang bagi saya begitu menarik, kerana petikan-petikan ayat Al-Quran dikaitkan dengan konsep sains moden, guna untuk menyembuhkan kesihatan manusia sejagat, baik jasmani atau rohani.

Dalam Bab Enam, dijelaskan unsur teras kejadian manusia menurut Al-Quran yang terdiri dari 7 bahagian.

1) "Dia (Allah) menjadikan manusia seperti tembikar (tanah yang dibakar)"-Ar-Rahman:14

-Yang dimaksudkan dgn kata "shal-shal" dalam ayat di atas ialah tanah kering atau setengah kering yakni 'zat pembakar' atau OKSIGEN

2) Di dalam ayat itu juga disebutkan kata 'fakhkhar' yang maksudnya ialah KARBON

3) "Dan ingatlah ketika Tuhanmu berfirman kepada malaikat; sesungguhnya Aku (Allah) hendak menciptakan seorang manusia (Adam) dari tanah kering dan lumpur hitam yang berbentuk (berupa)-Al-Hijr:28

-'Hamaa-in' di ayat tersebut ialah NITROGEN

4) "Dan (Allah) menciptakan manusia berasal daripada tanah"-As-Sajadah: 7

-Yang dimaksud dengan kata 'thien' (tanah) di ayat di atas ialah HIDROGEN

5) "Sesungguhnya Aku (Allah) menjadikan manusia daripada tanah liat" -As-Shaffat:11

-Yang dimaksud dengan kata 'lazib' (tanah liat) di ayat ini ialah ZAT BESI

6) "Dia (Allah) menjadikan Adam daripada tanah kemudian Allah berfirman kepadanya jadilah engkau, lalu terbentuklah manusia"-Surah Ali Imran: 59

-Yang dimaksud dengan kata 'turab' di ayat ini ialah 'UNSUR-UNSUR ZAT ASLI YANG TERDAPAT DALAM TANAH'

7) "Maka setelah Aku (Allah) sempurnakan (bentuknya), lalu kutiupkan ROH-Ku kepadanya (Roh daripada-Ku)"-Al-Hijr: 28

Bab tujuh menghuraikan rahsia air dalam penyembuhan.Oleh kerana manusia itu terdiri dari 70% air, maka fikirkanlah-jika 70% air ini dapat dirawat dengan sempurna, maka dengan sendirinya kita telah merawat hampir keseluruhan komposisi badan kita.

Kerana itu perhatikan firman Allah dalam surah Al-Anbiya' ayat 30:

"Dan dari air Kami jadikan segala sesuatu yang hidup.Maka mengapakah mereka tidak juga beriman?"

Bab lapan pula menghuraikan tentang keajaiban teknologi silam iaitu piramid.Menurut kajian Dr. Lothfi, struktur piramid dapat menyerap, mengumpul dan menjana (ampifier) tenaga yang berada di dalam struktur piramid tersebut.

-Oleh kerana itulah 'pyracosmic' diilhamkan iaitu gabungan 'pyramid' dan 'cosmic' iaitu penyerapan dan pengumpulan tenaga kosmos, terutamanya dalam rawatan penyakit fizikal dan metafizik.

Saya menyarankan setiap orang memiliki buku ini untuk bacaan rujukan ilmiah, terutamanya dalam bidang ilmu metafizik Islam.

Apakah Berubat Merosakkan Tawakal?

Salam..

Artikel di bawah saya terjumpa dalam email.Rasanya eloklah dikongsi untuk kebaikan bersama.Semoga bermanfaat dan diberi ganjaran setimpal oleh Allah kepada penulisnya..

Oleh: Al Ustadz Abdul Mu'thi Al Maidani

Tema ini masih berkaitan dengan perbahasan hadis Ibnu Abbas radhiallahu `anhuma yang lalu mengenai orang-orang yang masuk syurga tanpa hisab dan tanpa azab. Salah satu sifat mereka adalah bertawakal kepada Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala semata. Barangkali sebahagian muslimin beranggapan bahawa berubat akan mengikis kesempurnaan tauhid. Alasannya adalah kerana berubat merupakan penggunaan sesuatu sebab yang berlawanan dengan tawakal kepada Allah. Sehingga seorang yang bertawakal tidak perlu untuk berubat bila sakit. Jika Allah mahu menyembuhkannya, maka dia akan sembuh tanpa perlu berubat. Akan tetapi, benarkah mengambil sesuatu sebagai sebab berlawanan dengan tawakal kepada Allah?

Marilah kita semak tulisan berikut ini.
Sesungguhnya Rasulullah shallallahu' alaihi wasallam pernah mengutarakan masalah berubat, sebagaimana di dalam beberapa hadis. Di antaranya,

1. Dari Jabir Bin Abdullah radhiallahu' anhu, bahawa Rasulullah shallallahu `alaihi wasallam bersabda,
"Setiap penyakit pasti memiliki ubat. Bila sesuatu ubat bertepatan dengan penyakitnya maka dia akan sembuh dengan seizin Allah `azza wa jalla." (HR. Muslim)

2. Dari Abu Hurairah radhiallahu' anhu, bahawa Rasulullah shallallahu `alaihi wasallam bersabda,
"Tidaklah Allah menurunkan sesuatu penyakit melainkan menurunkan pula ubatnya." (HR. Al Bukhari dan Muslim)

3. Dari Usamah bin Syarik radhiallahu' anhu, bahawa beliau berkata,
"Aku pernah di sisi Rasulullah shallallahu' alaihi wasallam lalu datanglah sekumpulan arab dusun. Mereka bertanya, "Wahai Rasulullah, bolehkah kami berubat? ." Baginda menjawab, "Iya, wahai para hamba Allah berubatlah. Ini kerana Allah `azza wa jalla tidaklah meletakkan sesuatu penyakit melainkan meletakkan pula ubatnya, kecuali satu penyakit." Mereka bertanya, " Penyakit apakah itu? ." Baginda menjawab, "Penyakit ketuaan." (HR. Ahmad, Al Bukhari dalam Al-Adabul Mufrod, Abu Dawud, Ibnu Majah dan At-Tirmidzi, beliau berkata bahawa hadis ini hasan sahih. Syaikhuna Muqbil bin Hadi Al-Wadi'i mensahihkan hadis ini di dalam kitabnya Al-Jami'us Sahih mimma Laisa fish Sahihain 4/486)

4. Dari Ibnu Mas'ud radhiallahu' anhu, bahawa Rasulullah shallallahu' alaihi wasallam bersabda,
"Sesungguhnya Allah `azza wa jalla tidaklah menurunkan sesuatu penyakit melainkan menurunkan pula ubatnya. Ubat itu diketahui oleh orang yang boleh mengetahuinya dan tidak diketahui oleh orang yang tidak boleh mengetahuinya. " (HR. Ahmad, Ibnu Majah dan Al-Hakim, beliau mensahihkannya dan disepakati oleh Adz-Dzahabi. Juga Al-Bushiri mensahihkannya dalam kitab Zawaidnya. Lihat Takhrij Al-Arnauth atas Zadul Ma'ad 4/12-13)

Al Imam Ibnu al-Qayyim rahimahullah berkata, "Di dalam hadis-hadis yang sahih ini terdapat perintah untuk berubat dan ia tidak bertentangan dengan tawakal. Sebagaimana menolak penyakit yang berbentuk rasa lapar, haus, panas dan dingin dengan lawan-lawannya, ia tidak menghilangkan tawakal. Bahkan tidak sempurna hakikat tauhid kecuali dengan mengambil sebab yang Allah letakkan sebagai faktor yang akan melahirkan akibat, baik secara ketentuan takdir mahupun hukum syariat. Menolak sebab dapat merosakkan tawakal itu sendiri. Demikian pula dapat merosakkan dan melemahkan nilai perintah Allah dan hikmah-Nya. Sementara orang-orang yang menolak kerana mereka beranggapan bahawa yang demikian itu akan lebih menguatkan tawakal. Sedangkan menolak sebab merupakan sebuah kelemahan yang boleh menghilangkan tawakal. Ini kerana hakikat tawakal adalah seseorang itu menyandarkan hatinya kepada Allah di dalam mengambil manfaat dan menolak bahaya, baik pada agama mahupun dunianya. Penyandaraan hati ini mesti disertai dengan mengambil sebab. Jika tidak, maka dia akan menggugurkan hikmah Allah dan syari'at-Nya. Oleh kerana itu, janganlah seorang hamba menjadikan kelemahannya sebagai sikap bertawakal dan jangan pula dia menjadikan tawakalnya sebagai sebuah kelemahan." (Lihat Zadul Ma'ad, cet. Maktabah Ar-Risalah 4/14)

Berubat merupakan perkara yang diperselisihkan hukumnya di kalangan para ulama. Tentunya perselisihan mereka berpunca daripada perbezaan di dalam memahami dalil-dalil yang datang pada bab ini. Terdapat tiga pendapat di kalangan para ulama dalam menentukan hukum berubat.

Pertama, menurut sebahagian ulama bahawa berubat diperbolehkan tetapi yang lebih utama tidak berubat. Ini merupakan mazhab yang masyhur daripada Al-Imam Ahmad rahimahullah.

Kedua, menurut sebahagian ulama bahawa berubat adalah perkara yang disunnahkan. Ini merupakan pendapat para ulama pengikut mazhab Syafi'i rahimahumullah. Bahkan Imam An-Nawawi rahimahullah dalam kitabnya Syarh Sahih Muslim menisbahkan pendapat ini kepada mazhab majoriti salaf dan khalaf. Pendapat ini pula yang dipilih oleh Abul Muzhaffar. Beliau berkata, "Menurut mazhab Abu Hanifah bahawa berubat adalah perkara yang sangat ditekankan. Hukumnya hampir mendekati wajib."

Ketiga, menurut sebahagian ulama bahawa berubat dan meninggalkannya sama saja, tidak ada yang lebih utama. Ini merupakan Mazhab Al-Imam Malik rahimahullah. Beliau berkata, "Berubat adalah perkara yang tidak mengapa demikian pula meninggalkannya. " (lihat Fathul Majid halaman 88-89)

As-Syaikh Muhammad bin Shalih Al-Utsaimin rahimahullah memiliki method yang cukup baik di dalam mempertemukan beberapa pendapat di atas. Beliau memperincikan hukum berubat kepada beberapa keadaan:

1. Bila diketahui atau diduga kuat bahawa berubat sangat bermanfaat dan meninggalkannya akan mengakibatkan kemudharatan, maka hukumnya wajib.
2. Bila diduga kuat bahawa berubat sangat bermanfaat namun meninggalkannya tidak mengakibatkan kemudharatan yang pasti, maka berubat lebih utama.
3. Bila dengan berubat, peluang sembuh dan mudharat memiliki kadar kemungkinan yang sama, maka meninggalkannya lebih utama, agar dia tidak melemparkan dirinya dalam kehancuran tanpa sedar.
(lihat Asy-Syarhul Mumti' 2/437)

Salah satu sifat orang-orang yang masuk syurga tanpa hisab dan tanpa azab adalah bertawakal kepada Allah semata.

Sifat ini bukan bererti mereka tidak menjalani sebab sama sekali. Ini kerana secara global menjalani sebab merupakan perkara fitrah dan tertanam secara spontan. Tidak seorang pun boleh terlepas daripada menjalani sebab. Bahkan bertawakal itu sendiri merupakan sebab yang paling terbesar, sebagaimana firman Allah ta'ala,

"Barangsiapa yang bertawakal kepada Allah nescaya Allah akan mencukupkan (keperluan)nya." (Ath-Thalaq: 3)

Dengan demikian mereka hanya meninggalkan perkara yang makruh walaupun mereka memerlukannya, dengan tetap bertawakal kepada Allah, seperti meminta diruqyah. Mereka meninggalkan perbuatan ini kerana keadaannya sebagai sebab yang makruh. Terlebih lagi orang yang sakit, dia akan bergantung dengan apa sahaja yang dianggapnya sebagai sebab untuk sembuh meskipun dengan sarang labah-labah (yang sangat lemah).

Adapun mengambil sebab dan berubat dalam bentuk yang tidak mengandungi hukum makruh, maka ia tidak merosakkan tawakal. Oleh kerana itu meninggalkannya tidak disyariatkan, sebagaimana yang difahami daripada hadis-hadis yang telah kita senaraikan di atas. (Lihat Fathul Majid 87-88).

Mengambil sebab boleh menjadi perbuatan syirik dan boleh pula merupakan ibadah dan tauhid kepada Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Menjadi syirik apabila orang yang mengambilnya menyandarkan hati kepadanya, merasa tenang dengannya, dan meyakini bahawa sebab itu sendiri yang dapat melahirkan akibat tanpa Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Dia berpaling daripada Zat Yang Menciptakan Sebab dan menjadikan perhatiannya hanya terbatas kepada sebab itu.
Sedangkan ia boleh menjadi tauhid dan ibadah bila dia menganggapnya hanya sebagai bentuk penunaian, pelaksanaan dan penegakan hak ibadah yang terdapat padanya. Lalu menempatkannya pada tempat yang sesuai. Maka mengambil sebab dengan cara yang seperti ini merupakan satu bentuk ibadah dan tauhid kepada Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Ini kerana hal itu tidak memalingkannya daripada menghadapkan hati kepada Zat Pencipta sebab tersebut.
Seorang yang bertauhid dan bertawakal kepada Allah tetap mengambil sebab tetapi tidak menyandarkan hati, tenang, berharap, takut dan condong kepadanya. Hatinya hanya tertuju dan tergantung kepada Zat Pencipta Sebab subhanahu wa ta'ala. Namun bukan bererti dia menolak, menggugurkan dan mengabaikan untuk mengambil sebab.

Tawakal adalah salah, baik secara hukum syariat mahupun logik kecuali apabila ia digantungkan hanya kepada Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala semata. Tidak ada di alam nyata ini sebab yang sempurna dan dapat melahirkan akibat dengan sendirinya kecuali kehendak Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Kehendak Allah merupakan sebab bagi segala sebab. Allah telah menjadikan padanya kekuatan yang akan memberi kesan. Tidak ada satu sebab pun yang boleh melahirkan akibat dengan sendirinya melainkan mesti disertai oleh sebab yang lain. Allah menjadikan bagi setiap sebab lawan-lawan dan perkara-perkara yang dapat menghalangnya. Hal ini tentunya berbeza dengan kehendak Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Kehendak-Nya tidak memerlukan sebab apapun selainnya. Tidak ada sebab apapun yang dapat melawan dan membatalkannya. Namun kadang-kala Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala membatalkan hukum kehendak-Nya dengan kehendak-Nya. Dia menghendaki sesuatu perkara lalu menghendaki lawannya dan perkara yang menghalang terjadinya. Seluruhnya dengan kehendak dan pilihan Allah. Oleh kerana itu tawakal tidak dibenarkan kecuali hanya kepada-Nya. Demikian pula penyandaran diri, rasa takut, harapan, keinginan tidak ditujukan kecuali kepada-Nya.

Nabi shallallahu `alaihi wa sallam bersabda,
"Aku berlindung dengan redha-Mu daripada murka-Mu, dengan pemeliharaanmu daripada seksa-Mu. Dan dengan-Mu daripada-Mu." (HR. Muslim dan Abu Daud)

"Tidak ada tempat selamat dan berlindung dari Zat-Mu kecuali kepada Zat-Mu." (HR. Muslim)

Apabila kita mengumpulkan antara bertauhid dan mengambil sebab, maka hati kita akan lurus dalam menuju Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Dengan demikian, jelaslah jalan besar yang dilalui oleh seluruh rasul, nabi dan pengikut mereka. Itulah jalan yang lurus iaitu jalan orang-orang yang Allah beri nikmat atas mereka. Semoga Allah selalu membimbing kita. (Lihat Madarijus Salikin, cet Dar Ihyaut Turots Al-Arabi, 3/368-369)

A Glimpse Into Islamic Spirituality

Sound N Silence

The Science of Miracles and the Power of Prayer

I find it quite exciting that science and spirituality are now coming together.

It is beginning to look like the ancient humans were right about how the universe works—it just took science a while to catch up.

In the above video, Gregg Braden discusses the first of three experiments about the newly “discovered” web of energy that surrounds and occupies us all. The two other experiments he mentioned are even more compelling and should draw the attention of even the most skeptical minds.

Experiment #2: Connections Beyond of Time and Space

The second group of experiments was actually done by the military. They collected leukocytes (white blood cells) from donors and placed them into chambers so that their electrical charges could be measured. Then the donor was placed in a different room in the same building as the chamber containing his DNA. He was then subjected to emotional stimulation, using video clips.

Both the donor and his DNA were monitored for their electrical responses.

As the donor exhibited emotional peaks or valleys, the DNA exhibited electrical responses at the same time. There was no lag time—no transition time. The matches were exact and instantaneous.

The experiment was repeated at longer distances between donor and DNA, up to 50 miles. In every case, the donor and his DNA showed the same effect, simultaneously.

What can this mean?

Gregg Braden’s interpretation is:

“Living cells communicate through a previously unrecognized form of energy that is not affected by time or distance. This is a non-local form of energy that already exists everywhere, all the time.”

Experiment #3: Connection through Emotions

The third experiment was done by the Institute of Heartmath, and it involved human placental DNA, which is the most pristine form of DNA. It was again placed into a container from which they could measure its changes.

Twenty-eight vials of DNA were given to 28 researchers, who were specially trained in how to generate and feel strong emotions on demand. The results were astounding.

Each DNA sample changed shape according to its researcher’s feelings:

When the researchers felt love, joy, and gratitude, the DNA responded by relaxing: the strands unwound and actually lengthened.

When the researchers felt anger, fear, frustration, or stress, the DNA tightened up, became shorter, and even switched off many of its codes!

When the researchers felt love, joy, and gratitude again, the codes switched back on.

The experiment was later followed up by testing HIV-positive patients. Here, researchers discovered that feelings of love, joy and gratitude resulted in the HIV patients becoming 300,000 times more resistant to the virus than when they were not feeling these emotions.

What Does This Mean For Your Health?

The implications of this are staggering!

Think about it.

If your DNA can affect all of the energy around you, what could you potentially create in your life if you zero in on the things you truly want?

The possibilities are limitless…

-No matter what viruses or bacteria are floating around you, you can stay well by staying in positive feelings such as of love, joy and gratitude.

-You can stay safe and grounded, regardless of your external situation.

-You have the ultimate power to create the health you want.

-You can enhance your relationships without “doing” anything.

-You can attract anything you desire, as long as you stay in the right emotional state.

Top 5 Habits to Increase Longevity

-From Yahoo! Health

By Dr. Maoshing Ni

Is it really possible for anyone to live happily to 100? The good news is that your body was designed to be 100 - you just have to get out of the way.Getting out of the way means taking an honest look at the habits and lifestyle you are living with today. Most of us have developed habits that limit our true health potential.
But don't let these bad habits of the past discourage you - it is never too late to make new choices. What you did in the past can be changed, and your body will respond in kind. What matters is what you do from this moment forward.

Top 5 Daily Habits for Your Longevity

It takes 14 to 21 days of repetitive behavior to form a new pattern in your brain. Once the pattern is formed, it becomes an automatic behavioral response.
As you develop new healthy habits, they will begin to replace bad habits. These healthy lifelong habits are adapted straight from the time-tested traditions practiced by centenarians all around the world, and I can say with certainty that they will transform and rejuvenate you!

Eat five small meals a day.

In the Western culture, meals are taken three times a day, but it is much better to eat five smaller meals. When you eat smaller portions five times a day, you deliver a steady stream of nutrients, blood sugar, and energy to your body throughout the day.
Additionally, eating this way is less taxing on the digestive and metabolic systems and also reduces your risk of heart disease.

Climb the stairs instead of using elevators.

The health benefits of a daily exercise program cannot be stressed enough. Regular exercise can help promote physiological well-being, strengthen the immune system, maintain joint mobility, increase energy - and the list goes on.
Look for opportunities all through your day to work in physical activity. Power-walk, run, or ride your bike instead of driving. Begin a daily tai chi practice. Join a gym and actually go! Practice safely and watch your health results pile up.

Laugh it up!

We know from research that laughter and joy boost immune functions, especially the production of the natural killer cells that help protect the body from illness and cancer. Laughter also increases the release of endorphins, compounds that give you a sense of well-being, in your brain. Without a doubt, joyful people live longer and healthier lives.

Drink 8 glasses of water every day.

Water is essential for all healthy body functions. Centenarians from around the globe cite their native water as the source of their health and longevity - and the scientists agree with them. What they all have in common is pure water sources located far from any city, free from chemicals and toxins.
Choose filtered water; the best filtration processes are the ones that use activated charcoal, which removes the impurities but leaves the water-soluble minerals. Also, do not store water in plastic containers because the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can leach into the water.

Unwind with meditation.

Stress is the root cause of most of the diseases that shorten our life span. In our modern society stress will continue to increase - unless you find techniques to manage it. Meditation is the best way to release tension and revitalize your being. It teaches you to breath properly, which is critical for eliminating up to 70% of your body's toxins and wastes. It also quiets your mind, lowers your stress hormones, and teaches self-discipline, which is a necessary attribute to achieving your health and longevity goals. Try this beginning meditation:Sit comfortably on a chair or the floor. Breathe naturally and close your eyes. Each time a thought appears, put it inside a balloon and let it fly up into the sky and disappear. Do this until the thoughts are exhausted. After a bit, your body will feel very light, and your mind will become still. The first few times it may take a while, but it will get easier and faster with practice.I hope you use these healthy habits for years to come!
